Historic homes need restoration of original copper
Historic homes need restoration of original copper, wood, or galvanized systems.
Rebuild the structure before re-hanging gutters. Done right the first time.
Wood rot under failing gutters is one of the most under-treated problems on Independence homes. We don't paint over it, mount new gutters on it, or pretend it isn't there. We cut it out, replace it with primed, paint-grade material, and rebuild the surface for a proper gutter install.
Wood rot in Independence typically starts where drip edge is missing or where downspouts have overflowed. Premier addresses both before any rebuild.
